What do you think certain individuals or businesses get wrong when it comes to diversity and inclusion, on the entrepreneur side?

Maybe the self-reliance on it. DE&I is under a lot of scrutiny right now. There’s a lot of scrutiny and a lot of misconceptions. Whether it be in corporate, higher education, transportation, etc., there’s a lot of scrutiny, and a lot of chatter going on around DE&I. And I think it has historically been looked at as a way to maybe step into the arena to forge a relationship with a corporation that has sensitivities around inclusion and leveling the playing field. What I try to do is use that to my advantage, not lead with it, but provide a quality product and/or service.

What I try and lead with is again, not being a one-trick pony, having infrastructure, having a strong fiscal position, having a great reputation in terms of what we do as an organization, and having depth. And we can now boast about the fact that we have Fortune 100 companies as clients.
